Sandstone Girl and Snow

Posted on January 28, 2013 by commart

She was my mother’s favorite. For a long time, she had a life on the edge of a patio, but when she started to melt, she was put beneath an eave behind the house, my parent’s last, in Rockville, Maryland. … Continue reading →

Posted on January 21, 2013 by commart

Busted! But the Finger Will Live.

Posted on December 18, 2012 by commart

Digital tragedy strikes “writer, photographer, musician” . . . . 🙂 Right hand, long finger, first segment, tendon over the knuckle, AKA “mallet finger” (#&%@! fitted sheet, mattress, and contoured convex foot board). 😦 Splint: two-inch “ski tip” with foam … Continue reading →

Posted on November 4, 2012 by commart

The Quiet Hour: Toward Change II – “The Hellidays”

Posted on November 4, 2012 by commart

The father, biological, of a friend of mine is in the hospital today, bereft of his habitual smokes, weak, and perhaps passing away. The friend is most private, and perhaps in this tender area, most people, most families, are, but … Continue reading →
